Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar' is available to stream on Netflix.
Sanjay Leela Bhansali바카라s debut web series, 바카라Heeramandi: The Diamond Bazaar,바카라 which premiered on Netflix on May 1, is receiving praise for its visual allure and outstanding performances. Nevertheless, there바카라s a section of audiences that have voiced criticism, claiming that the series does not accurately portray Heera Mandi.
And now, in a conversation with ETimes, the show바카라s actress, Sonakshi Sinha, responded to this critique, defending the series by emphasizing its fictionalized nature.
The actress, who took on the role of Fareedan on the show, said, 바카라When did we promise people a history lesson? There are inspirations derived from places. Yes, Heera Mandi is a place which exists in Lahore but we never told you that we are going into the history of it. Sanjay Leela Bhansali is an artist and he바카라s creating a world for you.바카라
In rebuke to critics who disparage Indian content while lauding international shows, the actress further remarked, 바카라These are the same people who will love 바카라Bridgerton바카라 also. But it바카라s a very fictionalized version of what it was. So, I think they should treat 바카라Heeramandi바카라 like that too and take it for the entertainment value. In no way is Sanjay sir trying to be realistic. He바카라s selling you the idea of a dream and a vision, and that바카라s what he바카라s known for. I think every filmmaker has his own style and this is his, so I think they should treat the series for what it is.바카라
Despite facing criticism, 바카라Heeramandi바카라 has resonated strongly with audiences all across the globe. The show premiered at the number two spot on the streaming platform바카라s weekly top 10 list for non-English language shows. It amassed 4.5 million views and garnered a total viewership of 33 million hours, surpassing various international shows.
Besides Sonakshi, the show also features Manisha Koirala, Richa Chadha, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Aditi Rao Hydari, Sharmin Segal, Farida Jalal, Fardeen Khan, Taha Shah, Shekhar Suman and Adhyayan Suman in pivotal roles. It is currently streaming only on Netflix.
